Drinks OIL Of Tansy and Dies
. Horrible Death In Few
Minutes.
VELrES, IxD., June 2. 1857.
The little two year old and only child
OF m. Henry Hollcnbere, . prominent
merchant OF the flrm OF Hollenberg 4
Bro. OF this place, met terrible death
about four o'clock Saturday evening.
The child was given 4 bottle, tightly
corked, by its mother 70 play with. In
which she noticed small quantity Of III
|quid. which tie mother supposed 10 be
a remnant Of whisky.
Nothing was thought Of the child un.
Ill some time afterwards when the moth
Ter was startled by lis screams. Rushing
20 its rescue she was Mortified 10 fluid
her only child, which only q few min
utes before was IL perfect health, now Ia
violent paroxs SIMS. and upon . hurried
examination II was found that the snip.
posed whisky proved to be oil Of tansy
and that the little innocent urchin had
removed the cork aud had taken fata
dose Of this deadly poison.
The terrified mother gathered her on.
lily precious little babe 10 her bosom, and
Win lOuu rtItour ShsS wv "tosui ~
nearby friends, who soon responded 10
her piliful cries.
The physicians Of the town were quick.
| Iy called. and every known remedy adj
ministcsed, but all 10 no purpose, for u
had taken such quantity Of the poison
as TO put it beyond all medical skill
BY shis time the child wac in rapid
iconvulsions, aud the suffering indcscri
babIe and terrible in the extreme. i
WAS black IN the face from agony; IL
! little eyes so swollen a. 10 almost burs
from their sockets, and soon the little
sufferer began vomiting blood, which al
so oozed from its nose and ears, tortured
a. though blaze Of fire was within Il
till the cold monster, Death, came to III
relief
| Il was buried at Pikeyille Sunday, fol
lowed TO its last resting place BY TIL
grief stricken parents and large con
course Of friends, who took their las
view and farewell kiss good bye o.

hope be, ond the grave and this trouble

A. M. SWEENEY, Co. SUIT.
Throughout Monday II was cvidcn'
that the attention Of the students was
divided between the school work and
the election Tor Go. Supt The teachers
received one eye and ear and the court
house and the proceedings therein the
other, consequently the interest was
weak, for house divided against itself
must fall.' At about 2 80 the power OF
attention was given to one thing 10 the
exclusion Of all others, and that was a
message from Prof. Sweeney inviting
the students to eat ice-crcam with him al
Ms homo that evening. The news Of bis
reelection gave the normalitcs an OPP
portunity to air their pcnt up enthusiasm
~ cheering aud bursts Of applause at the
result. At the appointed hour the school
repaired zen massc" 10 his pleasant home
TO congratulate him, whore they were
met BY him and his most aimable wife,
who spared no pains 20 make the even
Ing an enjoyable one. The arrangement
Tor entertainment was quite unique.
The tables on which the cream was serv-
ca were improvised in the yard and al
though put up on short notice, looked
quito pretty-in various designs were
suspended Chinese lanterns, which a.
ii2rdcd . subdued light, but sufficient foE
&ho occasion.
TO complete tho whole arrangement
the Jasper band rendered IN excellent
sercnadc 70 the new Supcrinte ndent
which added greatly TO tho pleasure o.
the evening. Some OF the greater lights
o. Dubois county were seen IN tho back
ground, proving that "a little fun now

KILLS AN EAGLE.

Richards, residing one mile south of
Vienna, Scott county, lad. at dis
lance Of one hundred yards, the 9TH
er day shot and killed gray eagle
measuring thirteen feet from tip to
tip Of wing. The bird had attempted
to carry off neighboring child three
years old, which was playing in Mrs.
Richards yard, but was frightend
away by the screams of the larger
children. The eagle, not to be frus-
trated in its attempt to secure prey,
afterwards attacked flock of sheep
in the barn yard, and was flying away
with a young lamb in its talons when
discovered by Mrs. Richards, who
with a rifle in hand, pursued, and by
well directed shot brought it to the
earth. The bird was presented to
Sheriff Everett, who will have it
mounted and placed in the court
house, to remain as monument to
the superior skill and craftsmanship
of a heroic woman.

HOW IT WAS DONE.

We diligently inquired how it
was that Gadsden, whose beauties
and advantages had so long lain dor
mant, should SO suddenly spring
into Importance and attract the at
tention of the world? We believe
We found out the secret. We we're
told and doubt not that that it is re-
liable, that when the Gadsden Land
and Improvement Company was or
gained they determined to spend
money with the leading newspapers
of the South and West to bring into
notice their little town and it's su
perior advantages. Acting upon
this resolution they called upon the
Atlanta Constitution for Henry Gra-
dy. Mr.. Charles I, Logan was sent
in his place, and wrote the first ar
tlcle for which it is said he received
one thousand dollars. Then the
Chattanooga Times threw two or
three bombs. Then the Cincinnati
Enquirer came out with map with
a halt dozen paper railroads on it,
all pointing to Gadsden and the
boom became an accomplished fact.
And the result of it is the Gadsden-
ties are realizing a handsome profit
to-day on their judicious investment
in PRINTERS INK.
Who is willing to give time, ener-
gy and money as does r. B. Kyle,
wealthy man this place. Then the
South would hear OF boom sure
enough. - Gddsden Cor. CdrtersutHe
